Hello, I am a freshman hoping to attend my dream school, Cornell.
Since middle school, I've been in top classes and got straight A's throughout the three years. With high confidence, I thought it would be right for me to take the hardest classes. With AP Computer Science, AP Government, Honors Algebra 2, Honors Biology, Honors Chemistry, and Advanced Painting. I was quickly shot down when I started to get C's and B's in my classes. I realized how hard high school was, knowing that I needed to study harder, but I couldn't keep up with all my classes. As my semester is ending this week, I believe I will have my final semester grades with two A's, four B's, and maybe a C depending on how well I go on my final unit test for AP Government. I'm currently the secretary of my grade, and in the pediatrics club, with no other MCs. Not sure if this is needed information, but I am in AOIT, H&A, and Science Capstone as well.
I understand aiming for an Ivy college with these current grades is impossible, but I plan on joining more clubs next year and will try my best to get A's next semester to make up for this one.
To make it more manageable for next year, the classes I chose for Sophmore year were Honors Pre-Calculus, Honors US History, Yoga, AP Physics, AP Seminar, and website development.
I'd appreciate any feedback, or adjustments to my schedule to help me achieve my goal. Thank you!
